What can I say... 2012 has been a truly AMAZING year for me. Glessner Photography has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are so incredibly grateful to all of the wonderful brides and grooms who entrusted us to capture their love. We've worked with some really incredible wedding professionals, had the opportunity to photograph weddings not only in North Carolina, but throughout the southeastern U.S., and I get paid to do what I love... life doesn't get much better than that!

As I selected photos for this year's wedding review, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the love we've seen and the support and friendship we've received from these couples. From the bottom of my heart, thanks to each and every one of you.

We look forward to seeing what 2013 brings us and all of you, too! (A few of our 2012 brides will even be welcoming little ones in the new year!!!)

You may remember Brittany and Jeff from their engagement session last fall. I met Brittany seven years ago when I joined the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority as a freshman at Belmont University. This girl is full of life and fun, and during her time at Belmont, she found Jeff, a guy who enjoys life just as much as Brittany.

This wedding was special for me not only because Brittany is a dear friend, but also because their ceremony was held at the Wightman Chapel at Nashville's Scarritt-Bennett Center, the same place where Josh and I said "I do" a little over three years ago. Though I may be just a little partial, it's such a beautiful venue, and I was so excited and honored to have the chance to photograph a wedding there.

My goodness, Brittany... you made an absolutely STUNNING bride.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I absolutely, head-over-heels love when a bride and groom do a First Look! This was such a sweet moment, and we were able to get so many fabulous photos of the bride and groom before the ceremony.

The images from the dance floor were some of my favorites from the night... so much fun!
